Orientation &
Approach
|
Most of us grew up
learning who we were was somehow not okay. To adapt and survive we
adopted a ‘false self’ to minimize the pain we were in, and win the
approval of our peers and caregivers. Most often we were raised by
people whose self-esteem had also not been properly nurtured, so we
didn’t have the modeling and support we needed to flourish and thrive.
Using a wide
variety of tools, I help you release old, outmoded habits of thought,
feeling and behavior, acquire new skills, and move into deeper
self-love, awareness, empowerment, ease and integrity—internally, and
in your relationships with others. This allows for an increased
capacity to make more effective, self-honoring choices, which in turn
helps create a more authentic, fulfilling, joyful life. |
Personal
Comments
| Each of us is given a unique package when we’re
born—assigned a body, a family, a place on the planet. Quirks,
talents, deficits, leanings. It is up to each of us to do our best to
fulfill what we’ve been given. And to enjoy the ride with as much
intelligence, creativity, awareness and reverence as possible.
I believe that you are the person you’ve been put here to love,
honor and cherish. And that from that, all else follows. In my
therapeutic work, I help you cultivate a richer, more respectful
relationship with yourself. Hold up as clear a mirror as possible.
And help you recognize the misperceptions you’ve come to believe, so
that you can begin to know, embody and fulfill the truth, beauty and
preciousness of who you really are.
I have been in the
helping professions for over twenty-five years, and a licensed
therapist in private practice since 1991. In that time I have had the
privilege of helping hundreds of people change their lives and become
happier, healthier and more successful in all ways. I have great faith
in our capacity to heal and grow, and in our profound potential for
joy, creativity and love.
As witness and
guide, I help you transcend the limitations of your habitual patterns,
and support your movement toward greater authenticity, self-honoring
and fulfillment. |
